I'm mobile and at the gym trying not to fall off of the stairtreader, can someone post some fun no1curr gifs because this is definitely the time to utilize that feature.
Also, please remember there is a block feature if you find a poster particularly annoying.
I don't like blocking people because then I can't judge them. When people act like assholes, I for sure like to judge them.

I agree, in my area there are a number of children that rely on being fed during the school day. Unfortunately there is not a system in place to make sure that they are taken care of during the summer.
They are still not going to be fed when school is off for 2-3 weeks.
Fixing the wrong problem, though it is a problem that does need to be addressed.
I live in Indianapolis and they have some programs for free meals through the summer if the student qualifies during the school year. I'm not sure how wide spread they are though. Eta: Apparently they serve all kids under 18 and there are no stipulations. Just show up and you get food. No questions asked. www.summerservings.org

Speak for yourself. Rural areas still exist and it's pretty assholey to say they don't. Enjoy the food you eat from not farmers apparently.
And what happens when you end up with one kid in high school, one in middle school, and one in grade school and all with different schedules. That shit has happened all the time in districts that tried to implement this.
And yes, it is a million times easier to remember that a kid is off for 2 months than having to try to remember every fucking week where they need to go that week.
Oh, and studies have shown that performance is better on the 9 month system.
I know that rural areas still exist. I also know that child labor on farms is not very well protected, especially when school is not in session. There are no limits on the hours that children can work on farms, they can be paid far below the minimum wage, they can work at much younger ages than other children, they can be asked to perform dangerous tasks... I guess, I'm just not convinced that I think the educational system should be arranged to facilitate children working in the fields. Yes, I know that if they didn't, I would have to pay more for my food.
Also, my understanding is that the studies are mixed and inconclusive about the efficacy of the 9 month vs. the 12 month.
Please don't eat the food they provide then.
Seriously. Shut up about shit you clearly don't know a fucking thing about.
PS- I was paid nothing for most of my "work" because it was a family farm. Fuck off.

It's a lot easier for them to plan out numbers if they are rapidly fluxing every 2-3 weeks.
Can I just say I am SO HAPPY to see them called Caramel Delights?! I had to learn all new Girl Scout cookie names when I moved up north (trefoil? wtf? that's shortbread). Why are they different?
I always thought it was different in different regions based on who makes them. GSC are made by 2 different bakeries. I know one is the same Keebler uses which is why you can get thin mints (grasshopper) and Caramel Delites (Samoas.. aka coconut dreams) in the grocery store all year long!
Not sure if this has been covered (still catching up), but I live in Illinois and I know we have different GSC than Wisconsin. Wisconsin has Caramel delights, and Illinois has Samoas.
I like the Samoas better. Samoas have dark chocolate while Caramel Delites have milk chocolate. (at least the ones in IL and WI)

My kid will be put to work when he goes to spend a week with my parents. At the ripe old age of 4. And he will not be paid. I already made him help in our garden and I make him pick shit up around the house too.
Someone should call CPS. We are clearly bad people.

I grew up on program like this in NYC. We didn't need it (at least my mom never made it seem we needed it) but the elementary school would give all kids under the age of 12 a free breakfast and a free lunch during the summer.

Holy shit, I just invested a lot of time on reading through this thread.
Thoughts:
-I always loved dreads on people, regardless of race. I always wanted them but felt like it was a commitment I couldn't keep up with. -I also always wished I could have had a braided afro like this: but being a straight-haired white gal it just wasn't in the cards for me. I settled for things like this: -I am a teacher and while I love my summer vacations I think I could also enjoy breaks dispersed throughout the year. That being said, we just had a shitty winter and it snowed today so...I'll take off as many nice warm weather days as I can. -I love love love the smell of gasoline as it's pumped but it drives me fking crazy if I spill any on my hands or shoes. There is a difference. -I think the ugly 80s trends came back initially as an ironic statement but it became “hipster” and cool. I, personally, am happy skinny jeans have high waists now. #iwearmompantsbutimnotamom -mugster WTF is your siggy gif? I'm entranced. I keep watching it over and over. -mrsjene your post reminded me of one of my fave gifs for moments like these: -I also didn't do something cutesy/pinteresty to tell H about our first BFP. I mean, it was still cute, we hugged and got all giggly but H doesn't like “cheesy” stuff (not meaning to offend, not sure how to clarify). I think the 2nd time around telling him about a bfp will be a lot different emotionally. It will be a mix of hope and dread as opposed to just happiness and excitement. I definitely won't be doing anything cutesy. Maybe in time we can get excited about it. I think the cutesy stuff and excitement would come after confirming a healthy pregnancy. Like for realz a healthy pregnancy. (Those who do the planned cute stuff and have H's that love it – keep on keepin' on, it's just not for me/H) -TL;dr past page 16.

I like the smell of gasoline. I love all popcorn - even kettle corn. I love dreads on anyone and everyone, and sometimes wish I had the time and patience to have them myself (and I am a white woman...!). Also, thank you to whoever posted that Jason Momoa picture earlier! DH and I are not really into cutesy things but I will still probably do something cutesy to tell him if we ever get pregnant. I don't really have an opinion on the school schedule UO, but I think that I like kids and teachers to have an extended summer break. I used to hate pickles and only recently (in the past few years) have started liking them again. I love Elf and it's probably my favorite Christmas movie.

Totally used his voice when I just said this in my head.

The public school system around here hosts ours so most of the elementary schools offer it. The one near us is conveniently located at the park across the street from my parents' house.
